Hi,

Using the standard slope-intercept form for the equation of a line

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

equation of a line with slope -4/5 and a y intercept of 4.

y =(-4/5)x + 4

standard form  of that line would be

(4/5)x + y = 4

multiplying each term on side of the equation by 5

4x +5y = 20
